altazimuth telescope in degrees, minutes, seconds (N or S) Earth based telescope ambient height above sea level in meters altazimuth the person, company or institution that constructed the mounting A form of mounting similar to that of a radar which allows the telescope tube to be moved horizontally (by rotation in azimuth or compass direction) and vertically (by rotation in altitude or elevation). To follow a star the telescope must be adjusted simultaneously in both axes. (also called alt-az) in degrees, minutes, seconds (E or W)

optical telescope astroweb electromagnetic telescope

reflector the person, company or institution that created the mirror electromagnetic telescope material and other engineering details or primary mirror diameter A device for gathering and amplifying light or other energy by means of a mirror. equal to aperture (except for Schmidt which has aperture smaller than mirror diameter)
